Chapter 112
"In the alley," Ying Wuji said, leading the way.
Murong Haitang followed him. Sure enough, the two soon saw a shop in the alley.
"This senior really has... personality! He opened the store in such a remote place," Murong Haitang couldn't help but comment.
"Origin Mall is famous for a reason," Ying Wuji said in a low voice, looking at the plaque on the door.
Then, the two walked in.
Inside the shop, Gu Yunxi and Jiang Wanshang were about to prepare their instant noodles when they saw two familiar figures walking in. Both sides were taken aback, and an awkward silence followed.
A few seconds later, Jiang Wanshang and Gu Yunxi broke the silence.
"Good morning, Teacher Haitang and Teacher Ying," they said in unison.
"Let's talk. What's going on? Why are you two here?" Murong Haitang narrowed her eyes slightly, a smile on her face. "You should have been here these past few days, right?"
Thinking of their recent behavior, Murong Haitang quickly guessed the reason.
"You may not believe it, teacher, but in fact, we discovered the boss' shop by accident," Jiang Wanshang explained with effort.
"Right, right," Gu Yunxi nodded repeatedly.
"Welcome to our store," a faint voice said, and Luo Chuan walked out from behind the counter.
"Boss," Gu Yunxi said.
This young man is the owner of the shop?
After seeing Luo Chuan, Murong Haitang found it hard to believe at first. He looked so young, not matching her image of a master.
Ying Wuji didn't dwell on it and asked directly, "I heard Mr. Bai say that this store sells items that can replenish vitality."
Luo Chuan was a little surprised to hear that Mr. Bai had recommended his shop. He nodded, pointed to an empty shelf, and said, "Yes, the store sells syrup. But we are currently out of stock. It will take a few days to restock."
"It's okay, I can wait," Ying Wuji replied. After all these years, what's a few more days?
"There are other products in the store, you can also take a look," Yao Ziyan added.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Gu Yunxi nodded eagerly. "Teacher, since this is your first time here, let me introduce the store to you!"
"Wait, are you from the monster royal family?" Murong Haitang suddenly noticed Yao Ziyan and asked in surprise.
The face with purple hair and purple eyes was very distinctive.
Yao Ziyan nodded, "Yes."
Murong Haitang felt a bit speechless. She hadn't noticed the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power from Yao Ziyan, which meant Yao Ziyan's strength must far surpass hers, at least to the level of a Venerable.
A dignified Venerable working as a clerk in a shop...
Murong Haitang didn't know what to say. But this fact only emphasized the mystery and power of this young shop owner!
"Monster beast royal family? Sister Ziyan, aren't you human?" Gu Yunxi and Jiang Wanshang were a little surprised. If Murong Haitang hadn't mentioned it, neither of them would have noticed!
Yao Ziyan shook her head and smiled, "Of course not."
The two didn't
dwell too much on this issue. Whether Yao Ziyan was human or from the monster royal family, she was just a clerk in the owner's shop.
At this time, Murong Haitang and Ying Wuji also noticed the decor in the store, and their evaluation of Luo Chuan rose significantly.
Such a luxurious shop could only be created by someone with significant strength.
The two then explored the shop with Murong Haitang and Ying Wuji, explaining the effects of the merchandise.
To be honest, Murong Haitang and Ying Wuji, who were in the Asking Realm, were quite surprised by what they learned.
Instant noodles that could increase the speed of cultivation, cola for healing, spicy noodles for temporarily strengthening one's power—these were items that cultivators would eagerly fight over. Yet, here, the most expensive item was only a Bai Lingjing.
Now, they were starting to doubt the purpose behind Luo Chuan opening this store. It wasn't as they had guessed. Finding such a store without prior knowledge seemed impossible!
Could it be that this shop was a charitable venture because the owner had no other place to spend his money?
